In memory of

Judith Ann Lang

April 10, 1945 -  January 12, 2024

It is with profound sadness and very heavy hearts to announce the passing of Judith (Judy) Ann Lang of Courtice. Suddenly, and surrounded by all her family at Lakeridge Health Centre, Oshawa on Friday, January 12, 2024 at the age of 78. Born in Oshawa, Ontario on, April 10, 1945.
Daughter of the late Donald and Edna Cutler. Judith (nee Cutler) was the beloved wife of Jim Lang for 54 years, Loving mother of her 2 boys, Stephen (Darlyne), Brent (Jennifer) Judy will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Dylan Lang (Karley), Samantha Lang (Owen) Cole Morrison and Easton Morrison. Dear sister of David Cutler (Wilma). Fondly remembered by her Sister-in-law Mildred Dreossi and Brother-in-law Bryan Lang (Cindy). Judy will be remembered by all of her nieces and nephews.
Anyone who knew Judy knew her greatest love was her family.
Judy truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; traveling the world with her husband and closest friends, spending time with her family and grandchildren, right down to watching the sunset on the back deck with her husband while feeding the birds and reading one of her favourite authors.
Judy worked as a Teacher for various school boards throughout her 35 plus years of teaching. Her love for children was infectious. As an accomplished teacher she shared her passion for teaching with those around her, the sparkling sense of wonder and curiosity in the minds of her students is why Judy loved working as a teacher.
Judy impacted the lives of many around her, she was an incredible, kind-hearted, empathetic woman who possessed the rare quality of making those around her feel safe and seen. Her gentle spirit and warm knowing smile left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Family and friends whose lives Judy touched are invited to Woodview Park ,151 Cadillac Avenue North, Oshawa on Saturday, February 3, 2024 from 1-4 pm to reminisce, and celebrate the wonderful life Judy lived.
If desired memorial donations to Denise House or the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Judy was the first Teacher I met when I started school at Courtice North in 2001. I was 12 years old, during my time at Courtice North as a student Judy was a consistent and kind teacher. Her care for all her students shone through every day. When I was in high school I continued to receive support from Judy as she was my co-op placement teacher. She allowed me to work with her students and learn how to support them the way she always supported me.

I credit Judy with being my inspiration to become a teacher myself. We stayed in touch into my adulthood and was very happy to hear in recent years her life was filled with spending time with her family and grandchildren.

I will forever be grateful for all the teachings Judy provided with me. She will always be in my thoughts and greatly missed by all those who knew her.
With some much love

I am deeply saddened to read the passing of such a wonderful and caring person who spent hours helping children at Courtice North Public School. Even after my boys left her and her husband would bump into Matt at the store. Not so long ago I phoned her and told her that Matt got married. May you rest in peace, never forgotten.

Our deepest sympathy, Jim.
Unfortunately we will be out of the country at the time of the Celebration of Life for Judy.
Our thoughts are with you.

I had the honour of working with Judy 2000 to 2003 at CNPS. She was a joy to be around and didn’t take long to know Judy was a very strong student advocate and caring person! I am so sorry I cannot be there Feb 3 to celebrate Judy but will be thinking of you, her friends and family! I’ve often thought of Judy since our time at CNPS and will keep doing so in the future with fond memories!
